Smith Secretarial typewriter keys, minus the typewriter. We removed these for you - ready to go for jewelry making. We haven't cleaned them so you may need to do a little bit of that, they are all intact as you can see from the picture. Backs may need just a little sanding to prepare surface. There are 53 keys all dark bold font letters on cream colored background with silver metal bands,  this typewriter had the extra 1, 10, 100, & 1000 keys which are very neat to use on bracelets.  Please ignore lightness on some of the keys in picture - camera flash glare. All of the keys have a nice patena and are about the same.   There is also a ribbon Key, Shift Keys, Back Space and Margin Release. Lots of variety to craft a truly UNIQUE item.  The L.C. Smith typewriter keys are some of the nicest we've seen in that they are of a good sturdy manufacture and have a dark bold font on keys.
